GARBAGE-CAN.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ANDREW BARASH, a subject of the King of Hungary,residing at Glouster, in the countyof Athens and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Garbage- Cans, of whichthe following is a specification.

rIhis invention relates to new and useful improvements in garbage cans.

The primary object of this invention is to provide a garbage receptacleadapted for exteriorly depositing the contents thereof automaticallyupon an opening of the closures therefor.

A further object is to provide a sheet metal receptacle that islire-proof and so formed as to be odorless and at the same time adaptedfor the automatic discharge of its contents upon an opening of thedischarge doors thereof.

A still further object is to provide a metallic garbage receptacle witha tightly closing top cover for the entrance open ing thereof and withside slide closures for the exit openings through which the entirecontents of the receptacle is adapted' to automatically discharge upon awithdrawal of the said slides.

With these general objects in View and others that will appear as thenature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in thenovel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described,illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appendedclaim.

In the drawings forminga part of this application and in which likedesignating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout theseveral views-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in its closedposition. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal vertical sectional viewthereof partially broken away. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective View of atop corner portion of one of the slides, and Fig. is a detail sectionalView of the corner mounting means for the slide closures.

Referring more in detail to the drawings, the receptacle 10 isillustrated as rectangular in cross section and preferably formed ofmetal and adaptable for use as a garbage can. The top of said can beingopen, a closure lid 11 is provided hinged thereto as at 12 and retainedclosed in a substan- Patented N ov. 17, 1914. serial N. 833,662. i

tom a gabled base for the receptacle triani guiar in cross section anddown the sides 17 of which from its apex 18, the contents i of thereceptacle are adapted to slide outwardly through the opposite exitopenings 19 of the receptacle.

Corner strips 2O are secured to the exterior of the receptacle ad]acenteach corner thereof and have inturned flanges 21 for engaging thelongitudinal end U-shaped flanges 22 of closure plates 23 and as will beevident, the plates 23 are readily elevated and lowered in their slidingmovement by grasping the handle 24: carried by each of the said plates.

From this construction it will be seen that a garbage receptaclesubstantially air tight and therefore odorless is provided while theentrance thereto is readily attained by moving the lid .l1 upon itshinges.

A lip 25 is provided at the bottom of each of the exit openings 19 andadapted to receive the bottom edge of the closure plates 23 seatedtherein when such lates are in their closed positions. Upon e evatingthe closure plates the garbage within the receptacle is precipitated bygravity down the inclined sides 17 of the triangular or gabled bottomstructure where the same readily passes out of said exits 19 and in thismanner the said receptacle is selfemptying while being of a metallicformation is easily flushed or washed.

W'hile the forms of the invention herein shown and described are whatare believed to be preferable embodiments thereof, it is nevertheless tobe understood that minor changes may be made in the form, proportion anddetails of construction without departing from the spirit and scope ofthe Centrally positioned interiorly of said easing and forming,Y adouble inclined bottom, said casing provided with vopposite exitopenings at the opposite base lines of said triangular baseand'positioned at the bottoms of said openings7 soeketed lips upon theouter bottom edges of the doubleinolined bottom and positioned beneathsaid exit openings, verticallynrranged flanged strips carried by thecorners of said casing adjacent the exit openings, closure slides havingU-shaped angle flanges engaging the said strips and slidably mountedover said ing finger grip carried by the upper edge of each slide.

In testimony whereof I aHiX Iny signature 1n presence of two Witnesses.
